Supporting the workforce today, for what’s next.

Get the facts on how we will support our workforce during the closure of Mt Arthur Coal and beyond.

There are many support avenues that are available now to the Mt Arthur Coal workforce. In 2024, we launched the Workforce Transition Support policy, an all-encompassing policy for how BHP will support employees as a part of our closure.

What are you doing to support Mt Arthur Coal workers?

Our employees have access to opportunities to upgrade their skills or training, access free financial advice and career coaching to support them in developing new career pathways.

There is a very human element to closing the mine in 2030…it’s very important to make sure that the people here are set up for success, so when they do have to leave Mt Arthur, they’ve got a positive future.
